Richie’s accomplished great success over the years, particularly in the modified car show scene where since 2001 has been headlining the main stages at all the major car shows worldwide. He took the crown as "UK Car Show King” in 2004 mixing a cover CD for the modifiers bible “Max Power” magazine.

With 300,000 copies nationwide “Ministry of Sound” were then tantalized by his talents requesting he compile,  mix & master “Maximum Bass” (May 05 - 100,000 copies) A double disc set of Garage, House, R&B, Hip Hop & D&B which enabled a prodigal platform for Richie to showcase his diversity.

On New Year's Eve 2010 Richie achieved every DJ's Dream - The honour of counting in the new decade at the world famous 'Ministry Of Sound' Red Sea Egypt to a capacity crowd of 5000 party revelors!

In March 2010 'Max Power Magazine' returned the favour with a four page feature on him & his show car with the emphasis on his turntable skills (not the motor) and Richie continues to work with them today, hosting and rocking stage shows throughout 2010 up and down the UK. Richie and Max Power again teamed up after this to Mix "Scratch Attack" The Album.
